can I save through my router?

Can I connect an external hard drive to my router (it has ethernet and USB connections) and use time machine to make backups? If so, you is everything I need to know before you go out and buy a HD?

It helps to provide as much information as possible on your hardware.

Your router of mystery has the ability USB 2 or 3 USB?

The support of your router supports fast ethernet card (10 / 100 Mbps) or gigabit ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbit / s)?

  • Unable to see the computers in the workgroup or server to print to my HP laptop, but I can all ping and access the internet through the router.

    I have a laptop HP with XP pro. I have a network with 2 computers laptops (Dell and HP), 1 office and 1 DP300U DLINK print server with a static IP address. I use a LINKSYS WRT110 router. Everything is connected through this router. I can ping ALL laptops, the office and the print server. I can access internet from all laptops and office. All THE MACHINES are in the same workgroup. Only from my DESKTOP (XP HOME), I can click on FAVORITES NETWORK, click VIEW group of WORK COMPUTERS and I can see the other compters and the print server. However, since my computer Dell laptop or HP LAPTOP (XP PRO) I can PING the router and the journal in it, all the other machines and print server but can NOT SEE THE OTHER COMPUTERS or ACCESS THE PORTABLE HP computer or the other laptop. I turned off all firewalls and firewall McAfee (PORTABLE HP computer) and still no joy.

  • I can't save the file to my external hard drive connected to my wireless router!

    I have a wireless router netgear WNDR3700 with 'plug-and-play' feature that allows a home to simply connect your hard drive to your network. I managed it to get up and running, but I encountered some problems when I tried to save files on the disk. The strange thing is that I can copy and paste or move the files to the location that I want to but I can't save it there... I have windows 7 Professional 64-bit installed.

    I thought about it :)

    In the folder "My Computer" and under "Network location" I clicked on my external hard drive. Just below the navigation bar, I clicked on 'Map network drive' I entered all the information of location on hard disk and I got another file under "network location". I deleted the old one and used a new one that I could use without any problems until now... hope this makes sense...

  • I can't save analyses after you download Sierra OAS

    I can't save analyses after you download Sierra OAS.

    The "Save" button is grayed out?

    Hello 2014anthony1,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you can not save scans after updating to Mac OS Sierra. I would make sure I can save analysis too, I do a lot of scanning on my Mac. Let's work together and get this problem is resolved.

    I suggest to use macOS Sierra: update or change the printer software, more precisely, that these sections:

    Most printers are compatible with Mac OS. When you add a printer, Mac OS automatically uses AirPrint to connect to the printer or the printer software downloads (also called a printer driver).

    If you can not use a printer that is already added, or you see not the options you want in the print dialog box, you can add the printer again with different or software to print settings different.

    Add your printer with different parameters

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Printers and scanners.

    2. Select your printer from the list, and then click the button Delete .

    3. Click on the button Add and if a context menu appears, choose Add a printer or a Scanner.

      A dialog box is displayed that lists all Hello, IP, printers directory shared, and open on your local network. It may take a minute or two for your printer to appear.

    4. Select your printer, when it appears in the list, and then do one of the following:

      • Use AirPrint: Click on the drop down menu, then choose AirPrint (or Secure AirPrint). If AirPrint is not on the shortcut menu, the printer does not support it.

      • Use a printer software installed on your Mac or downloaded from Apple: Click on the drop down menu, then choose Select software.

      • The software to print a file on your Mac: Click on the dropdown menu, then select other. Select the file, and then click Add.

    Update your printing software

    If your printer is not how to use AirPrint, you can use Software Update to download the latest version of the software. If you don't do this, you see a message that software is not available when you connect your printer.

    • Choose the Apple menu > App Store, and then click updates.

      Install the software updates that are listed for your printer.

    • If the software for your printer is not available using the software update, you can contact the manufacturer for more information. Maybe it's that your printer is not compatible with Mac OS. To check, see the article Apple Support printer and scanner software available for download.

    If you install the printing software you don't have Apple, printing software can not be updated automatically when you use the software update.

    Let us know if that helps. We'll help you get through this.

    All the best!

  • My 1st generation iPod touch can not save on my iMac El Capitan but can to my MacBook Snow Leopard ' 08. Why the iMac think that the backup is corrupt?

    Of course, I'm using my iMac El Capitan, but when I bought the music today and went to add to my iPod touch iTunes ended up freezing. Long story short, I could delete the files from the iPod but can not add one; Adding a single song led to suspended iTunes and the cancellation of the synchronization via the iPod of course makes no difference.

    After going through all the rigamarole any attempt to delete all backups for iPod, both through preferences and in/Library/Application Support / MobileSync / Backup, I always had the same problem. I can't add music on my iPod via the iMac, nor can I save it there. Yes, I rebooted.

    And so, after many tears, I pulled out my MacBook ' 08, who narrowly missed the cut for El Capitan and so still has Snow Leopard. And now my iPod backed up very well! (I cursed myself for not to copy previous backup before it was replaced, but hey.) They are all under the same Apple ID, so at this point, I'm simply redownloading all of my new purchases on the ol' MacBook ' so I can add it to the iPod... but how long this will be a viable solution? (I realize using products Apple since 2008 is an affront, but you've got to do what you do I do, and I don't currently have pocket for 32 GB change.)

    So the question. Is there an incompatibility of software between my 1st generation iPod touch (3.1.3) and my iMac (El Capitan with iTunes 12.3.2.35 10.11.3)? Is there really a degree of corruption here than Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.6.8 11.4 (18) does not recognize?

    TL; Dr: I can do my iPod touch backup of my iMac?

    (My apologies for what is the format, I still haven't managed to brevity, and these a few hours researching in it made me frustrated).

    Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried to copy on the backup freshly prepared from the MacBook on the iMac and received the same exact error message.

    Your router provides firewall protection, so the need is not the same
    as if you had no a router. There are some who say you need to no.
    all firewall software.

    But my opinion is that you would be a lot safer if you have run a
    router software, and since there is little reason not to, I
    recommend that you do.

    Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

    I agree.

    @OP Windows XP (SP2 and above), Vista, 7 and 8 all have active firewall software by default.

    There is no need of any 3rd party firewall.

    Some users like running programs such as ZoneAlarm because it warns him from the processes that use the network, and then there is the possibility to deny/allow it on the spot, or deny/allow forever. There may be slight discomfort in the installation, but once it's for all your programs, and then it really can work in silent mode.

    Microsoft Firewall simply leave everything default, but they can be configured manually to block anything outgoing or incoming.

  • WRT160N can't save settings

    On the configuration page (192.168.1.1), whenever I try to change the settings, and then click 'Save Settings' it says that the page is not found. Therefore, I can't change the settings of the router because they won't save. I did that my firmware is updated and now do not know what to do.

    This problem is usually caused by a problem of communication between your router and your computer.  To resolve this issue, try the following:

    You don't need an Internet connection to see the router configuration pages. Pages of the router ("web pages") are integrated into the router.
    Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
    JavaScript must be enabled.
    Use a computer that is connected to the router.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily disable your firewall software.

    Point your browser to 192.168.1.1, and then connect to your router. Your username must be left blank. Your password is "admin" (without the quotes), unless you changed it.

    If you use Zone Alarm, do a right-click on the ZA icon in the taskbar (bottom right of screen) then click on "Shutdown ZoneAlarm" and see if that solves your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: open the control center ZAISS, go to privacy, then temporarily disable Ad Blocking and Cookie Control and see if it solves your problem.

    Some Zone Alarm users reported that the addition of 192.168.1.1 to their address list "of trust" solved the problem. This trick can also work with other firewalls.

    If you use Noton Internet Security with the add-on Pack, don't forget to disable the blocker and ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall all Norton Add-on Pack.

    If you can not get anything to 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not the address of the router. Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
    A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key. Look at the "default gateway". It is 192.168.1.1? Point your browser to the 'default gateway', can connect you to your router.

    If the above fails, unplug your modem router, then try again. If it solves your problem, then you probably a "modem-router" rather than a regular modem. A report with this problem and also specify the brand and exact model of your modem (not router) number.

    If all above fails them, turn off your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait a minute, then lights up, then try again.

    If all the above tips fail, then reset the default router: power down the router and unplug all the wires. Wait a minute. Switch on the router, let it fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset for 30 seconds button, then release the button and allow the router to reset and restart (2-3 minutes). Turn off the router. Wait a minute. To connect to a computer, cable, a router's LAN port. Initialize the system. It should work.

    If you still have problems, then you must download and install (or reinstall) the latest firmware for your router. After the update of the firmware, you must reset the default router, and then configure the router again from scratch. If you have saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

    Hello

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

  • Could not save the WRT54G Router settings!

    Recently, I have reset the Linksys WRT54G Router because I can't get the page with a note to "CONTINUE", I used to have. I can also save the new setting. What comes out is a blank page. Pls help me. Thank you.
